[Morning – At Hudson Global Enterprises. Sunlight pours through the tall glass windows, glinting off the marble floor and the long polished conference table. Azer Pierce Hudson sits at the head, posture straight, eyes fixed on the door as it swings open and Tristan Clyde Edrige walks in.]
Tristan Clyde Edrige
so..they pair me with the one and only heir to hudson global enterprises?nice choice.
Azer Pierce Hudson
don't sound so excited.
Tristan Clyde Edrige
can you blame me?you're almost as half as handsome as I am.
Azer Pierce Hudson
ridiculous, you sound like a fool right now.
Tristan Clyde Edrige
I wonder if a handsome guy like you..likes guy's too?
Azer Pierce Hudson
and what does it have to do with our works?mind your own business. Can you?
Tristan Clyde Edrige
unfortunately, I already checked your background.
Azer Pierce Hudson
you did- what?did you stalk me?
Tristan Clyde Edrige
it's called checking your background not stalking. And besides, I had to. Since we're paired. Any problem with that Mr. Hudson?
Azer Pierce Hudson
do you think I still have a choice?damn you.
Tristan Clyde Edrige
not anymore, but trust me. I make a great partner.
Tristan Clyde Edrige
especially in bed
Azer gulped and blushed as he heard Clyde's words.
Azer Pierce Hudson
Mr. Eldrige! it's inappropriate to say such things. If you don't take this seriously, then you might as well leave.
Clyde chuckled, amused by his cuteness and stubborn expression.
Tristan Clyde Edrige
are you afraid of losing to me, Mr. Hudson?
Azer Pierce Hudson
I don’t lose. I never have, and I never will.
Tristan Clyde Edrige
guess we'll find out?unless you're too afraid. Everyone loses to me eventually.
Azer Pierce Hudson
it's not considered as everyone if I'm not included, don't you think?
Clyde lean's closer, smirking.
Tristan Clyde Edrige
let's make a deal then, who ever falls in love first, loses.
Azer Pierce Hudson
such a childish idea.
Tristan Clyde Edrige
I'll take that as a deal.
Azer Pierce Hudson
you're insane, but fine. it's not that serious.
Tristan Clyde Edrige
but I'm serious, once I make you fall in love with me. There's no turning back.
Clyde leaned in across the desk, his eyes locked on Azer’s. The space between them narrowed just inches apart until the sound of the door opening broke the moment.
Secretary Xian
I’ll just… pretend I didn’t see anything. But sir Clyde, it’s time to go home. Your car's waiting outside.
Tristan Clyde Edrige
alright, I'll guess..the deal start's tomorrow then?For now... goodbye. I'll be back early in the morning.
Clyde stood up, straightened his suit, and turned away, leaving through the door without another word.
Ep 2 - Cling to me.
[Morning - Hudson Global Enterprises boardroom]
Azer sat patiently, tapping his foot against the polished floor, his eyes fixed on the clock.
Azer Pierce Hudson
Where is that fool already? He’s not worth wasting my time.
Azer muttered under his breath.
Tristan Clyde Edrige
I'm here, I'm here. Good morning.
Azer Pierce Hudson
you're 20 minutes late, Mr. Edrige!
Tristan Clyde Edrige
Come on, baby. You missed me that much?I can tell, no need to deny it.
Azer Pierce Hudson
In your dreams.
Tristan Clyde Edrige
I’m late because I brought you food. Your secretary said you only drink coffee in the morning. I’m afraid my wife would get hungry.
Azer Pierce Hudson
are you insane?what wife?
Tristan Clyde Edrige
I'm just kidding, here you go.
Clyde handed a takeout bag with garlic butter steak, mashed potatoes, and a small slice of cheesecake.
Azer looked at him, a flicker of something dangerous in his eyes.
Azer Pierce Hudson
Thanks. I’ll eat this… but I’m not falling for your tricks.
Clyde smiled, watching him with quiet admiration as Azer took a bite.
Tristan Clyde Edrige
Are you free tonight, Mr. Hudson?
he asked, his tone dripping with playful intent.
Azer Pierce Hudson
why?what's your plans?
Tristan Clyde Edrige
I was thinking of..taking you out for a dinner.
He looked away, a faint smirk tugging at his lips as he waited for Azer’s response.
Azer Pierce Hudson
just dinner?I don't mind.
Tristan Clyde Edrige
"Great,” Clyde said with a grin. “I know a lot of best restaurants perfect for us two"
At night, in a fine dining restaurant, Clyde sat back in his chair, confidently ordering an array of fancy dishes truffle pasta, wagyu steak, caviar-topped appetizers, and a bottle of the finest wine on the menu.
Tristan Clyde Edrige
let's dig in, should we?
Azer Pierce Hudson
you ordered a lot, can we even finished this all?
Tristan Clyde Edrige
don't worry, even if can't. We can bring this home.
Clyde leaned forward with an easy smile, placing a variety of dishes onto Azer’s plate.
Tristan Clyde Edrige
"You have to try all of these,” he said, as if it were non-negotiable.
As the night grew late, Clyde insisted on driving Azer home though “home” turned out to be Clyde’s sprawling mansion, its grand gates opening to reveal a floodlit driveway and a house that looked more like a palace.
Clyde carried Azer in his arms, effortlessly crossing the marble-floored foyer and up the sweeping staircase, before gently setting him down in the center of his lavish bedroom.
Clyde stared at Azer’s peaceful face, his heartbeat quickening. He leaned down and pressed a gentle kiss against them, lingering for just a second before pulling away with a faint, dangerous smile.
Azer Pierce Hudson
what the hell did you do?
Azer’s eyes fluttered open, catching Clyde frozen just inches away. His voice was low and sharp.
Tristan Clyde Edrige
I'm sorry, I can't resist you. you're too beautiful right now.
Tristan Clyde Edrige
nevermind, I'm just overthinking things. You should sleep in the bed.
Azer Pierce Hudson
what about you?
Tristan Clyde Edrige
I'll just sleep on the floor.
Azer Pierce Hudson
just sleep with me, this is your bed.
Clyde froze for a second, processing Azer’s words.
Then a slow, disbelieving grin spread across his face.
Tristan Clyde Edrige
You’re letting me sleep in the same bed? Careful, Mr. Hudson… I might take that as an invitation.
Azer Pierce Hudson
do whatever you want.
Clyde pinned Azer on the bed, leaning in with a playful smirk. He slowly unbuttoned Azer’s shirt and tugged at his jacket, his gaze never leaving Azer’s eyes.
Ep 3 - The deal in the dark.
Their breaths mix in the silence.
Tristan Clyde Edrige
Tell me to stop… and I will.
Clyde glares, but his voice is low
Azer Pierce Hudson
you never listen anyway.
Clyde smirks, brushing his lips near Azer’s ear.
Tristan Clyde Edrige
True. Especially when it comes to you.
Azer’s hand tightens on the sheets, but he doesn’t push him away. The tension crackles like fire between them.
Azer Pierce Hudson
Ah… ngh—fuck… d-don’t… don’t think this means I’ll fall for you… hah…
Azer panting, voice low and strained.
Clyde smirking, pressing deeper.
Tristan Clyde Edrige
you say that, but your body is already giving you away.
Azer breathing heavy, biting his lips.
Azer Pierce Hudson
Shut up… ngh and just… just do what you want…
Clyde's voice, rough and breathless.
Tristan Clyde Edrige
Ah fuck, Azer… you drive me insane. Every sound you make, every move… I can’t get enough of you.
Tristan Clyde Edrige
you don’t even realize what you’re doing to me how badly I want to claim you, again and again.
Azer Pierce Hudson
Ahh Mr. Edrige…! this is insane.
his voice breaking into a loud moan, unable to hold back.
Azer panting, gripping the sheets.
Azer Pierce Hudson
F-fuck… I can’t hold it for long.
Tristan Clyde Edrige
then take it, take all of me. Don’t fight it, baby…
Clyde leaning close, voice rough.
Azer Pierce Hudson
Azer (moaning loudly): “Ahh—Clyde…!”
Tristan Clyde Edrige
Clyde (pressing harder, breathless): “That’s it… lose yourself to me. I’ll make sure you’ll never forget tonight…”
